Chapter 52
Without a moment's hesitation, Jinyang crisply declared, "No, you absolutely cannot go! Has Uncle lost his mind? Does he not know how perilous the battlefield is? How could he possibly let Ninth Brother go?" Her relationship with Changsun Wuji was much closer than Li Zhi's, and her address for him was correspondingly more affectionate.
Nie Li understood that the Heavenly Mandate Emperor was planting a mental demon within him. If he were to violate the oath, he would be plagued by this inner demon, making it impossible for his cultivation to progress.
Li Yi smiled and nodded. Indeed, according to Wang Haoqing, they must have been sabotaged by their rivals last time, only the perpetrators had been so covert that the two of them still believed it was completely normal up to this day.
Jiang Zhenye's expression shifted drastically as the long sword at his waist was instantly unsheathed, and his figure immediately soared into mid-air.
"I sense that you are immensely powerful. What do you say, would you like to join me in cleansing the existing world and establishing a new order?" Unexpectedly, Apocalypse extended an olive branch to Leo.
The two of them returned to Lu Ningshuang's residence laden with abundant spoils of war and the newly purchased tools.
The five blood-robed law enforcement envoys transformed into five streaks of light, each wreathed in thunder and fire with murder in their eyes, and lunged in a coordinated attack toward Dongbo Xueying.
Though he could not yet be certain whether Leo's disappearance signified his death, even though he felt deep admiration for Leo's efforts in blocking the star-devourer, he inexplicably felt a wave of relief.
Allied with metallic dragons, it would indeed be a good thing. Yet one must not lower their guard because of this; Bahamut was undoubtedly a benevolent deity, but that did not mean it wouldn't trick people.
The coarse battleaxe descended through the air, only to halt abruptly right beside Zar's face. Zar had stepped forward from his original position, and having shortened the attack range, he raised his left arm to firmly block the opponent's axe haft. The razor-sharp blade managed to sink slightly into his shoulder, cutting a shallow wound.
The honored guests of the Nantian Alliance were not responsible for its day-to-day affairs; they merely served as a trump card to deter all directions. Anticipating that the Sword-Slaying Assembly would not be a peaceful event, Elder Qinghua had also invited the other two honored guests of the Nantian Alliance to Nantian City.
"It's you!" After suffering heavy damage from the Heaven-Bound Ruler, Qin Han instantly recognized Hua Tian's identity. Yet having barely uttered those two words, Qin Han clutched his chest with one hand, dropped to his knees, and continuously coughed up blood from the corner of his mouth.
"General, what do you think of Nangun?" At night, wearing casual attire—a one-piece, off-the-shoulder short-sleeved dress—Esdeath stood on the balcony of the Prefectural Governor's Mansion as a gentle evening breeze blew against her. Her cold, detached gaze looked out toward the distant bustling streets, the glittering sights reflecting deep within her pale blue eyes.
Fengjing remained in a daze for a long time without recovering. His eyes, webbed with angry red veins, instantly bloodshot to the point of appearing ferocious.
As for the rest of the soldiers, he had already ordered them all to hide deep inside the base, knowing full well that even if they were present, they could serve no useful purpose and would only needlessly increase casualties.
Because Fujimi Academy was a school with a closed-off campus environment and school rules strictly prohibited students from bringing mobile phones, such an ironic and helpless situation was naturally bound to occur.
Returning to the group, the buzz-cut man lingered with nostalgic gestures, his palms still retaining Yin Yi's body heat and his nose catching the scent of her fragrance.
"Please, come in... Cough... Cough, cough, cough, cough!" the figure in blue robes rasped without looking back, unable to help his shoulders shaking as he fell into a violent fit of coughing.
Hearing Situ Yan say that all the other factions had agreed, the expression of the Wind-Thunder Sword Sovereign turned somewhat unsightly. If it were only the evil sects, the Seven Sects would still have some room for negotiation. However, with the inclusion of the factions from the Northern and Southern Continents, the maneuvering space left for the Seven Sects was drastically reduced.
"Why don't we go to the room and watch a movie?" Yanyan Na wasn't particularly keen on watching television either; after all, watching TV shows midway without beginning or end was meaningless. It was far better to watch a movie from start to finish, which was much more interesting.
He had always been someone who never regretted a decision once made, but this time it concerned that old codger after all—could he really just stand by and watch that old man's life's work be stripped away piece by piece?
A streak of yellow light flashed and vanished straight into the vegetable cocoon before them, and the source of that glowing light was none other than that detestable ring.
Piano masters varied greatly in caliber. With such trash, the fact that so many Chinese people present hadn't driven him out was already considered merciful.
Regardless, he needed to make Mashu feel secure and keep her steady. As for what came afterward, he could only take it slow; haste makes waste, and you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
He needed to guess everyone correctly, earn 150 reward points, and ensure that Class C was not guessed by anyone else.
An elder named Yuanzhen gave a muffled acknowledgment and obediently went to join the other elders and mentors in settling the injured disciples.
Driven by frenzy, the masterless samurai and foot soldiers could only roar in the name of the "Emperor," ordering their subordinate ronin and samurai to press the attack!
However, thinking that everything followed the principle of equivalent exchange, if he treated Zhuang Qingqing's parents well, wouldn't Holingfeng eventually have to call him dad?
No one knew how much her heart ached when she voluntarily uttered the words, "Forget it, let's end it."
"Bang, bang, bang..." The boundary marker expanded outward by a thousand miles. Anyone within this range, no matter who you are, was disarmed completely. Any grievances were to be directed at the Jiufeng Gate, while the Heavenly Rune Sect, hidden deep within layers of tree shadows, raced against time to accelerate its growth using the last remnants of twilight power.
It seemed as though the exchange between Li Xun and the Bell had lasted quite a long time, but in reality, it was merely an instant. After questioning Li Xun, Ivern paid him no further mind and affectionately stroked the tree standing beside him.
The content was also straightforward: an old friend of Rodney's had reportedly manufactured a new alchemy device, and Rodney required the players to borrow this device for use.
"You actually know of the Heavenly Incline Hall?" Chen Youde hurriedly put some distance between himself. This young man named Li Ye filled him with profound dread. Where had he learned of the Heavenly Incline Hall, and how did he know of him? It was truly ghostly.
Clearly, at this moment, the target stirred by that bizarre wind was the vegetation, rather than the humans running through the air.
For this reason, Zhao Guoping specially had Han Hao spare an extra 10 minutes to report on the development of the Kunlun Semiconductor Company, which was personally invested in by the richest man Han, and enthusiastically inquired about related details regarding HiSilicon and the HarmonyOS.
During this period, Lingshan had heard the Ancestor mention that this world was infinitely vast. Beyond the land beneath their feet and the endlessly distant seas, there existed other continents—some entirely unconnected, while others might be linked through naturally formed cavern-heavens and secret realms. The exact number of these continents was unknown, yet some among them would also claim the title of the Divine Land.
